Video Transcript for Thule Ascent 1100 Roof Mounted Cargo Box Review
Today we are going to show you the Thule Ascent 1100 roof mounted cargo box, part number TH602. The Thule Ascent 1100 features 11 cubic feet of storage space. The box can be opened from either the passenger or driver side of the vehicle and the quick grips securely mount to your vehicles crossbars quickly and easily. The quick grip mounts are designed to fit Thule square and round bars, and most OEM installed crossbars. :25
The aerodynamic design with diffuser technology helps keep drag and wind noise to a minimum. The box can be locked from either the passenger or driver side. Built into the lock is a key security feature. Only when the box is properly closed and locked can the key be removed. this will help prevent accidentally locking the keys inside the box. To mount the Ascent on your vehicle, you will need a minimum crossbar spread of 23-5/8 inch minimum and 37-1/2 inch maximum. :54
To open the box, the key and turn it to the unlocked position. On the front and the rear of the box are the dual hinges, which allow the box to be opened from both sides. To operate the quick grip mounts, all you need to do is loosen the knob on the top and the mount is allowed to slide along its track. Once we have our box set on our roof rack, and the clamps are in position where we need them, we will tighten them down and the clamp will close and secure itself to the box. Included with the Thule Ascent line are two load straps that attach from one of the quick grip mounts, to the mount on the other side. These straps will help you secure your cargo inside the box and keep it from moving around when you are traveling down the road. On the other end is a typical adjustment buckle. With our straps pre-installed, once we have our box on the roof and load our cargo we can cinch it down and secure our load. 1:54
Now we are ready to install the box on top of our roof rack. With our box set on top of the roof, we can open it up and adjust our quick grip clamps. Once we have the quick grip clamps set, on the driver side we can close the box, move to the passenger side and adjust those clamps. We can then open the box from either side and start loading our cargo. Well take the straps that we previously installed, and strap down our skis. Thule has also included pull straps so you can easily close the lid, even when standing on the ground. There you have it for the Thule Ascent 1100 part number TH602. If you like the Ascent, but need more storage space, it is also available in three larger sizes. The 1500, part number TH603. The 1600 part number TH604. And the 1700 part number TH605.

- I checked with Thule and the Thule Ascent 1700 Roof Mounted Black Cargo Box, part # TH605, will fit on both your 2008 and 2010 Lexus RX 350.
This box has a height of 15-11/16 inches, and since you only have 16 inches of clearance this will be a very tight fit. If you were to buy this box I would recommend that you take it off of your RX350 before you drive into your garage.
If you decided to try and pull in to your garage with the box attached to your roof I would recommend that you go ve

- Roof Mounted Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2011 Cadillac SRX with Factory Roof Rack
- According to our fit guide, the Thule Ascent 1700, # TH605, is not a direct fit to a 2011 Cadillac SRX with a factory roof rack. In order for it to fit, according to Thule, you would need to first install Thule Crossroad Roof Mounted Roof Railing Foot Pack, # TH450, and Thule Load Bars, # THLB50, to provide the proper crossbar spacing to mount the Ascent.
Another option would be to go with a different box. Yakima has several boxes that they have indicated are a direct fit. Take a look at the

- Will The Thule Ascent 1700 Roof Cargo Box # TH605 Fit Factory Roof Rack on 2011 Nissan Xterra
- I do have a solution for you to carry the Thule Ascent 1700 Roof Cargo Box, part # TH605, but it will not attach to the factory crossbars on your 2011 Nissan Xterra. The reason the Thule Ascent will not fit the factory rack is because of how wide the crossbars on the Xterra are.
To use the Thule Ascent # TH605, you will need to install the Thule Crossroad Foot Pack # TH450 and use the Thule Load Bars, part # THLB50, which will attach to the roof cargo box.

- Will the Thule Ascent # TH605 Fit on a 2010 Buick Enclave with Factory Roof Rack Cross Bars
- Yes, the Thule Ascent 1700 Roof Mounted Cargo Box, # TH605, will work on your 2010 Buick Enclave and attach directly to the factory installed cross bars. No other parts will be needed.
The length of the box could present a problem, any box that extends past the window or the back of the vehicle may reduce visibility. I recommend using a tape measure to measure the roof of your vehicle and then select a cargo box that can be centered on the roof rack and not extend to far forward or rearward.

- Will the Thule Ascent 1700 Cargo Box Interfere with the Rear Hatch on a 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback
- The Thule Ascent 1700, # TH605, will fit the factory crossbars on a 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback. There is always a chance that the box will interfere with the rear hatch being able to fully open on the vehicle. What you can do to limit or eliminate contact is to adjust the box on the crossbars to make the box more forward on the vehicle. If you have adjustable crossbars, you can also move them forward.
Another option is to use a different box that is shorter. In this type of situation, I usual

- Will the Thule Ascent 1700 Roof Mount Cargo Box Fit a 2006 Subaru Tribeca
- If your 2006 Subaru Tribeca has the factory installed crossbars that run side to side on the vehicle roof, then Thule does list the Ascent 1700 cargo box, # TH605, as a direct fit. If your Tribeca has side rails that run front to back, you will first need to add crossbars.
You can use Rhino-Rack roof rack, # SXB4. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
